I like that there is no "ignore" button.
You can't click ignore in real life.
Not saying forums are just like real life but you probably get my point.
Banning people based on ratings is not like real life either but I don't mind that feature either.
Cliff is not a dictator.

OK, I kinda have a solution, but it'll take smarter brains than mine.

Someone write a script where we can block a keyword, this would be the members username that you want to block, whenever the keyword is spotted the script will create a black mark all the way across the screen for a set number of pixels (or the post if that's possible.) Make it a bookmarklet, and your set.

It would solve the issues set forth here.

They used to have a similar firefox add on that would bleed oil over the word BP, running down the page. Perhaps you could disassemble that and use it?

No you have to actually ignore them, they don't disappear.
I think we are saying the same thing and we don't both know it.

Even if there were an 'ignore' button, I am willing to bet most people wouldn't be able to resist not clicking it, just to see what the 'ignoree' said That is human nature
Anyway, ignoring their rants is much more fulfilling, because they KNOW you have read them, and have the strength of mind to refuse to be drawn into their childish nonsense Trolls only succeed because we FEED THEM!!

That's an idea, a client-side ignore button. Is that possible? I know zero about html, but I'd pay real cash for something like that here.

Why ? I can discount anything I want to. Are we needing protection from ourselves ?

Some people don't have that ability. Others want the option to have their own say without ever having to read an opposing view.

Oh, was I in a political thread ? I didn't mean our elected officials, .
